Just Found Out I Am 5 Weeks Prego

[isiskingdom]

Hi I had a question. I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant. I have been gluten-free for about a yr now and have had 7 miscarriges in the past not knowing I had celiac disease. I have 1 daughter age 3. My question is what is the risk of miscarrige now that I have been gluten-free for a while? They have me going every 48 hrs to draw blood to check my hcg level. The first time was 645 the next was 1265 and now I will get the results tomorrow for the next one.

I have no stats to offer you but I can tell you that my mother had 13 miscarriages before her first live birth while on gluten. My sister was infertile for 5 years before going gluten-free. My sister and I both have had wonderful pregnancies on gluten-free diet. You should be just fine now that you are not getting contaminated foods if you have given your body enough time gluten-free to heal. If you want to be super safe you could do the SCDiet during your pregnancy and breastfeeding period.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!!

I don't really know any stats either, but your numbers look great so far! I would def. find a gluten-free prenatal and go from there.

Praying this is a sticky bean for you!

It is recommended to wait for a year after starting the gluten-free diet before getting pregnant. You did that..... your celiac disease is under control, I don't see why you shouldn't have a perfectly normal pregnancy resulting in a healthy baby.
